Gated stepped-frequency ground penetrating radar

Ž . This paper describes a newly developed stepped-frequency ground penetrating radar SFGPR prototype operating across the 10–620 MHz frequency band. The SFGPR system has been developed to improve the maximum penetration depth Ž . capability of ground penetrating radar GPR applications without degradation of resolving power. The radar has the unique capability to employ a short gate at each fre...

Penetration with Step Frequency Ground Penetrating Radar

where P is the transmitted power, τ is the integration time, Gt and Gr are the transmit and receive antenna gains, λ1 and λ2 are the longest and shortest wave lengths respectively, σ is the target radar cross section, R is the target range, k is Boltzmanns constant, T is the effective receiver noise temperature and B is the receiver bandwidth. In the case of GPR, the signal attenuation in the g...

Simulation and Design of Ground-Penetrating Radar for Mars Exploration

Over the past few years, the interest in exploring Mars has grown, with several missions in the planning stages for the next decade. One motivating theme is the potential of discovering substantial sub-surface aqueous reservoirs. This paper outlines the simulation and development of a lightweight, low-power, ground-penetrating radar system intended for the subsurface exploration of Mars.

Design of a Reconfigurable Antenna for Ground Penetrating Radar Applications

This paper deals with the design and numerical analysis of a reconfigurable antenna implemented according to the total geometry morphing approach. The reconfigurable antenna is designed so to resemble a reference bowtie antenna, suitable for a stepped frequency Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) applications, with geometry variable in order to work in different operative conditions. In particular, ...
